How to Read and Write to the Configuration Manager Site Control File by Using WMI

Applies To: System Center Configuration Manager 2007, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R3, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP1, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP2

In Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007, you write to the site control file using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) by using the SMS_SiteControlFile class methods.

When writing to the site control file by using WMI, you use a session handle to identify your application. This is used to manage concurrent updates to the file.

When you have finished writing to the site control file, you must commit your changes.

SMS_SiteControlFile has the following methods to manage changes to the site control file.

Method Description

CommitSCF

Applies your changes to the Configuration Manager 2007 database.

RefreshSCF

Refreshes your in-memory copy of the site control file with any recent changes from the Configuration Manager 2007 database.

GetSessionHandle

Gets your in-memory copy of the site control file and a session handle. You place the session handle in an IWbemContext object that is passed to all IWbemServices methods.

ReleaseSessionHandle

Releases your in-memory copy of the site control file and any resources associated with your session handle.

Warning

You should be experienced in managing a site's configuration before using the SMS Provider classes to modify the site configuration. You can cause great harm to a site by changing some configurable items. You should use extreme caution or avoid using the SMS_SCI_FileDefinition and SMS_SCI_SiteDefinition classes altogether. These classes manage the site control file itself. If you are not careful, you can render the site useless.

To write to the site control file

  1. Set up a connection to the SMS Provider. For more information, see About the SMS Provider in Configuration Manager.

  2. Create a SWbemNameValue value set to hold your context data.

  3. Get a session handle from SMS_SiteControlFile class GetSessionHandle.

  4. Add the session handle to your context data.

  5. Call the SMS_SiteControlFile object RefreshSCF to get the latest copy of the site control file. Use the context data in the call.

  6. Query for the site control file resource you want to update using your context data.

  7. Update the resource using your context data.

  8. Commit your changes to the site control file using the SMS_SiteControlFile object CommitSCF method.

  9. Call the SMS_SiteControlFile object ReleaseSessionHandle method to release your session handle.

Example

The following VBScript example access the client agent component of the site control file and creates a dummy property, property list and multi-string list. It then removes the updates that were made. The example demonstrates how to set up the session handle, get the site control file, query the site control file, make updates and commit changes to the site control file. The methods used to update the various embedded property types are documented in the following topics.

In the example, the LocaleID property is hard-coded to English (U.S.). If you need the locale for non-U.S. installations, you can get it from the SMS_Identification Server WMI ClassLocaleID property.
